MANIA: THE ABBA TRIBUTE Sets US Tour Cast, to Open in Wichita in October

MANIA: The ABBA Tribute has revealed full principal casting for the production's upcoming 2026/2027 US National Tour. The hit West End tribute show, which has performed over 4000 live concerts across 40 countries, returns to North American stages with an elite international lineup.

Leading the company as Agnetha is Swedish vocalist Manda Malina. A native of Sweden, Malina rose to national prominence as a Top 7 finalist on Swedish X Factor before competing in Sweden's selection for the Eurovision Song Contest - just like ABBA! Her credits include headline residencies in Las Vegas and Lake Tahoe, EDC 2024, and millions of solo music streams. @mandaamalina

Starring Frida is American vocalist and actress Chloe Stowe. Stowe recently originated the title role in Dollywood's From the Heart: The Life and Music of Dolly Parton, gaining recognition from the iconic Hall of Famer herself. @chloe.e.stowe

Also returning to the role of Benny is actor, director, and songwriter Joey Carroll. Carroll is a seasoned theatrical and musical director as well as a talented musician.
